I don't use this knot as a starting knot either only for tie offs. I use a staring clamp too when I start crosses most of the time (two piece.) I just noticed it was great for tying off poly. Easy to tie with very little drawback. I tighten it just like a parnell or pro knot.

I started using Pro knot on your recommendation and have been very satisfied with it. I guess I will trust your recommendation again and give it a try

I think the Pro knot is a great knot and really easy to tie off, easier than this one. But I think this one works well in eliminating drawback. Works especially well with poly string. I dont think you can go wrong with the Parnell, Pro or VS starting knot. And if you want to use this one for a starting knot it should work well for that too. I don't think the Pro and Parnell knots would work well for a starting knot.

The pro knot works fine as a starting knot if you're not directly pulling tension on it.

Not sure what you mean by pulling directly. I would think you would want to pull on the top cross is that is what you mean.

With very little space it is going to be difficult to tie any knot if you tie it between the intersecting string and the frame. But if the anchor string is above the intersection string it works fine. You don't have to tie the knot between the intersecting string and the frame if the anchor string is above the intersecting string it slides right over it.

Hmm, I will give this a shot next time I string a racquet. I do love the Pro knot though, and as far as I know, I'm the only stringer in my area who uses it. Every other stick I've seen has either been a Parnell or DHH.
